Thank you for your question. I look forward to working with you to provide you the information you are seeking.

There is no requirement a mortgage company publish notice of foreclosure under the IL Mortgage Foreclosure Act (735 ILCS 5/). The publication of notice would be only if they could not serve you the notice of foreclosure in the foreclosure suit. If there was no proof of publication and no publication was required under the Mortgage Foreclosure Act, there is no other code or authority, they simply cannot charge you for something never done and they have no proof that any publication was done.

Hello, A different Professional here.

Yes, you are correct. The lender must publish the notice of the foreclosure sale pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/15-1507, (Section 5/15-1507.) The notice must be published for three consecutive weeks, once per week, with the first notice published not more than forty-five days prior to the sale and last notice not less than seven days pre-sale.

(735 ILCS 5/15-1507) (from Ch. 110, par. 15-1507) Sec. 15-1507. Judicial Sale. (a) In General. Except as provided in Sections 15-1402 and 15-1403, upon entry of a judgment of foreclosure, the real estate which is the subject of the judgment shall be sold at a judicial sale in accordance with this Section 15-1507. (b) Sale Procedures. Upon expiration of the reinstatement period and the redemption period in accordance with subsection (b) or (c) of Section 15-1603 or upon the entry of a judgment of foreclosure after the waiver of all rights of redemption, except as provided in subsection (g) of Section 15-1506, the real estate shall be sold at a sale as provided in this Article, on such terms and conditions as shall be specified by the court in the judgment of foreclosure. A sale may be conducted by any judge or sheriff. (c) Notice of Sale.

(3) The party who gives notice of public sale in

accordance with subsection (c) of Section 15-1507 shall also give notice to all parties in the action who have appeared and have not theretofore been found by the court to be in default for failure to plead. Such notice shall be given in the manner provided in the applicable rules of court for service of papers other than process and complaint, not more than 45 days nor less than 7 days prior to the day of sale.

(4) The party who gives notice of public sale in

In the event of adjournment, the person conducting the sale shall, upon adjournment, announce the date, time and place upon which the adjourned sale shall be held.
